This guidance provides information for local authorities in England to use in order to apply statutory duties and powers in relation to providing housing and financial support to vulnerable adults who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF). It provides information on the specific considerations that must be made when assessing and meeting needs of person with NRPF under the Care Act 2014, applying discretionary powers, and implementing exclusions to support that affect people with certain nationalities and immigration status types. No recourse to public funds (NRPF) applies to migrants who are ‘subject to immigration control’ and as a result of this have no entitlement to certain welfare benefits, local authority housing and homelessness assistance. Local authorities in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland may also find the guidance useful in helping establish how to implement the exclusions and manage NRPF cases, but will need to refer to the relevant devolved social care legislation to find out how to assess and meet need.
